The list of large cardinals properties from mathematics sounds like a hierarchy of bishops in a welcome to nightvale version of the Catholic Church. Here is an edited highlight to read to yourself in
Cecil Baldwin’s voice.

Small Cardinals
Worldly Cardinals
Inaccessible Cardinals
Reflecting Cardinals
Totally Indescribable Cardinals.
Shrewd Cardinals
Ethereal Cardinals
Subtle Cardinals
Almost Ineffable, Ineffable and Totally Ineffable Cardinals
Remarkable Cardinals
Strong Cardinals
Tall Cardinals
Super Strong Cardinals

What the fuck.

Why did the posts from after 5 PM (current time: 6:59 PM) just disappear from my dash?

I can see the notes for “brin-bellway reblogged your post: porous” and “somnilogical liked your post: porous”, but I can’t see either version of the post itself. (They do show up if I go to my blog directly.)

It wasn’t like this a few minutes ago.

The soft-refreshed dash I get after creating a new post from the dash shows newer posts. The dash that appears in the background of this reblog-drafting screen shows newer posts.

…and now properly loading/refreshing a dashboard window is showing them too.

???

¯_(ツ)_/¯

They vanished again, so I tried control-F5 and now they’re back.

Leaning towards some kind of cache issue.

Like many creatures, I compulsively groom when stressed. Occasionally, this manifests as picking at blackheads (usually when there’s a mirror handy, since it’s hard for me to tell by feel what’s going on with blackheads). Mostly, though, it’s eyebrow trichotillomania.

(I’ve been making a mild effort to do that less and a moderate effort to spread it out more evenly, so the bald patches are growing back now. Still very much looking forward to this class finally being over. Let’s just say the list of prerequisite courses should have been longer than it was.)

Tumblr, please explain why you have stuck this nearly-two-year-old post into my dash as if it were new.

Yes, I am tracking one of the tags it was posted in. Yes, nothing new has been posted in the tag since I started tracking it (though there have been things posted since the above post was made). These are not good excuses.

I’m not sure if it makes it better or worse that I’d already pressed the “like” button on the post previously. On the one hand, you definitely know I’ve read it, so there’s less point in showing it to me again. On the other hand, showing me an unmarked old post is less likely to lead to horrible misunderstandings if I’ve seen it before.

(The thing where you show me a given tracked-tag post several times over the following couple of days was tolerable enough, but this is an entirely different level of bad.)
